Diary of a mini-taper week City2Surf 14km : Day 3 5 x Power Hills ; Keith in Bega Recovery Run

This afternoon almost on dusk 16km including 5 x power hills (20 seconds to 100 seconds) on moderate to steep incline bike path. It was a beautiful day with light winds, blue skies although still on the cool side. I'm sitting on 120km last 7 days. I should be able to get it down to 90-100km by City2Surf 14km on Sunday with only 1-2 easy days.

Keith in Bega did a recovery run. Steve is back in action with a 6km run after a calf strain. Steve will be jogging City2Surf with the masses.

Just strides and maybe a tempo run before City2Surf. I'll take it day by day. 16km scheduled for tmoz. Weather will start to turn nasty again.

This week didn't start well with some lap timing marshals giving me an extra 3-4 laps to complete with no fault of my own before I could start to get back on terms in the 10000m event. As things panned out I suffered like most others in the heat and chasing back on was impossible for me once the hamstring muscles started saying No!! The 1000m result wasn't so bad, finishing 3rd behind the front running three in just over 42 minutes. I have just been going through the motions since the 1000m, cheering on as best I can from the sidelines. When I get back home in coming days I will have a short break and start again ant build up into running from again as soon as the hamstrings can repair themselves. Today was mostly walking on the lush course as Stromlo xc circuits. If by chance I can do a little more than that I will try. Otherwise I look forward to making the long trip home.
